Racial disparities in non-small cell lung cancer survival outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated disparities in survival outcomes between Black/African American, Asian, and White patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Some studies have suggested that non-White patients have poorer survival outcomes due to socioeconomic factors, while others have reported different findings. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of racial disparity on NSCLC survival outcomes. Method: PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched for articles published until September 2024. Eligible studies with aligned research objectives were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA guidelines. Result: Fifteen studies with 763,314 patients met the eligibility criteria. Asian and Asian/Pacific Islander (API) patients had significantly better overall survival (OS) compared to White patients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.79-0.94; Conclusion: Asian and API patients with NSCLC exhibited superior OS outcomes compared to White patients. In contrast, racial disparities in survival outcomes were statistically insignificant for Black and Hispanic patients. Additionally, staging disparities in OS were not observed between Black and White patients with NSCLC.
